Canadian Forces Bases (CFBs)

Canadian Forces Bases are the homes of the operational and support units of the Canadian Forces. A base must be designated by the Minister of National Defense. Although a base may be an army garrison or an air force wing, it is still defined as a base. There are also Canadian Forces Stations, which are smaller than bases and are operationally oriented, usually without any support capability. Each base or station is responsible to a command, depending on its designation as army, navy or air force. In addition, there are Forward Operating Locations (FOLs), unmanned airstrips in Canada’s north which house reserves of aviation fuel for emergency use, and radar sites, minimally manned or unmanned sites stretching across northern Canada.
